All to Play for: How to Design Child-Friendly Housing

By Dinah Bornat

How can we meet the needs of children and young people?

Just over 20% of the UK population is under the age of 18, yet they remain largely ignored when it comes to designing the places where they live.

In this book, leading architect Dinah Bornat shows how we can shape communities for and with children and young people, as well as the benefits this can achieve.

It combines compelling evidence, guidance and illustrated case studies to provide practical solutions for replacing, refurbishing, and reinvigorating an ageing housing stock through child-friendly design.

It has become increasingly important for everyone involved in built environment projects to demonstrate a commitment to social value. This book provides opportunities to realise social value in a number of ways, including better engagement.
